One of the best how-to videos I've ever seen. No three minute pre-amble, no useless intro or story about the drill press. Just here it is...here's how you do it. Going too fast? Pause the video. I wish more how-to videos were like this. OK, I wish ALL of them were like this. Well done.

I have a very similar drill press... and I did copy your depth stop trick. Thank you😊 I took the opportunity for refurbishing the whole drill and I was rather happy to see it ages quite well despite being the cheapest I did find at the time.

I did this and it works great. However I brazed a small amount of brass on the end of the screw so as not to scratch the quill.

Great idea, I need to do some light milling. That may solve my problem of locking the quill down and easily adjusting it up or down. :)
@WeAreNotAlone697 жыл бұрын
My take on this is: 1: The end of the bolt/knob needs to be tipped with BRASS, otherwise damage to quill surface, and the (2) bearing surfaces the quill rides against WILL occur. 2: The same effect can be had by replacing the guide pin set-screw (For those that have a warranty /do not want to mod drill press. 3: One thing NO-ONE has mentioned is IF this mod is done and bolt/knob is positioned between upper and lower bearing surfaces of the quill (or 2 brass tipped adjustment knobs are installed) and pressure is applied prior to the point the quill stops moving... it is DRUM ROLL PLEASE... is a LOW COST WAY of taking out /reducing the amount of quill play! (Adjustment knob(s) applying pressure to quill = reduced play.. 2 knobs allowing for more precise /reduced amount of pressure /more even wear) (2) adjustment /lock down knobs allowing for a say 2 inch long section of flat BRASS bar, with (2) countersunk holes in it for the adjustment /lock down knobs to reside in.

Wired - just did this , this morning- reduced play from 1.5 thou to .5 thou. Good detailed comment, I also added a small brass tip to the end of the adjustment bolt. Thinking of putting a second one at 90 degrees to reduce tumor even more 😊.

I hate to say this but you already have a quill stop on the side, tightening up the guide pin will achieve the same goal.

A handy use of a quill stop/clamp is to hold your work down while you clamp it; it leaves both hands free (drill not turning of course). It's not a depth stop.

Why dont you just lift the table until it meets the sanding drum?
@Russell2186 жыл бұрын
Because moving the table up or down also unlocks the side-to-side motion. It also causes up/down pivoting motion about the main tubular axis. Simply put, moving the table causes just about every other setting imaginable to go completely out of whack.

I know I am about seven years late but... I just want to ask... Next to the quill... THere is a bolt that goes into the keyway... If I make the bolt round instead of square, so that it can freely turn in the keyway, would I be able to make a lock without drilling and tapping holes? I did it and it works but... I just want to know if I am damaging the drill press
